After returning to the UK, Ada did not rush to work, but spent time with her parents first.
How should I put it? When I returned to my hometown, Ada always had a familiar yet strange feeling.
The town where she was born has almost stopped developing. When she returns here, the surrounding scenery remains the same as before.
But the people who accompany her now are different.
Former playmates have either married and started their own families and have their own social circles.
Or they go to big cities and work hard there.
Even her parents, who are able to accompany her now, have aged a lot in the past two years.
After staying at home for a week, Ada finally started moving.
Her parents helped her contact a record company, and the other party hoped that Ada could go and give it a try.
In this way, full of confidence, Ada boarded the train to the big city with her dreams in her heart.
On the train, she kept flipping through the songs in her hands, thinking about which song she would use to impress the record company after she got there.
"Maybe as soon as I open my mouth, the other party will be intoxicated by my voice and sign me, hehe." Ada was daydreaming like this while sitting on the train.
However, the reality was very different from her imagination.
When she arrived at the record company, she found that she was not the only one there to audition.
After asking around a bit, Ada was even more shocked. These people were all stuffed in because of certain connections.
Moreover, each of them is an outstanding student from the top music schools.
At that time, Ada's head was buzzing. When did the British music industry become so complicated?
The audition results came out on the same day, and Ada was eliminated.
The reason given by the record company was that the songs chosen by Ada were not good.
Ada sang an original song she wrote, but the song was not enough to impress the judges.
The record company's requirements are also very simple. They don't really care whether the signed singers have creative talent or not, as long as their singing skills are up to standard.
They have a large number of music producers under their command and can provide singers with excellent services.
To put it more bluntly, signing a contract with an original singer costs one price, and signing a contract with a non-original singer costs another price.
This also involves the copyright issue of the original singer's works. Given the talent that Ada has shown now, the record company does not want to spend too much energy on this aspect.
Business is business. We can't ask Adai's parents to make concessions in this regard just because they have some connections.
The failure of the first audition was indeed beyond Ada's expectations, but it did not undermine her self-confidence.
There are already many people working in this circle, and it is not easy to become an excellent singer and be noticed by everyone.
Many times it’s not that the singer or the work is not good, but that it doesn’t meet the style and requirements of the record company.
Just because this record company didn't want her doesn't mean that all record companies will reject her.
Ada plans to settle down here and try her luck with a few record companies.
She firmly believes that gold will always shine and she will definitely meet her mentor.
So in the next week or two, she began running around between major record companies.
She has been to famous record companies and has also tried smaller ones.
However, the result was not ideal. After two weeks of running around, no company wanted to sign a contract with her.
Two weeks of running around and failure were a huge blow to Ada.
At this moment, she was not only exhausted physically and mentally, but also had less self-confidence than before.
What made her even more sad was that she had taken time out to attend her ex-boyfriend's wedding during these two days.
She thought that after not seeing each other for three years, she could face everything calmly.
But the moment she saw her ex-boyfriend putting a wedding ring on another woman, she knew that he was not as calm and indifferent as she had imagined.
Due to the combination of multiple factors, Ada's mental state and temperament have changed dramatically during this period, and she looks extremely gloomy.
During this period, Ada developed gastritis again due to irregular lifestyle.
Her aunt took advantage of her weakness and came over to join in the fun.
The combination of stomachache and menstruation was perfect. At that moment, humans were once again reminded of the fear of being dominated by menstruation.
Ada could only stay in the rental house alone, curled up on the bed and shivering.
At this moment, she also had the idea of giving up.
This is how life is. Once things don't go well, all kinds of bad things will follow.
But sometimes, among all these bad things, it will give you a glimmer of hope.
Just as Ada was wrapped in a quilt, huddled in bed and shivering, and could only look at her phone and the delicious food she had eaten in China to relieve her pain and despair, she suddenly received an email.
When she first came to the Met, she applied for a talent show, just for fun. If she really signed with a record company, she probably wouldn't have the time and energy to do it.
But now, this is also an opportunity for her.
The next day, despite the pain of illness, Ada showed up at the audition on time.
Looking at the layout of the scene, Ada felt an urge to turn around and leave.
This talent show is quite famous and is widely acclaimed in the English-speaking world.
Ada originally thought that such a talent show should be very high-end.
But when she came here, she found that it was not the case at all. There were only three judges and one stage. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a makeshift team.
